I'm bumping this thread up as I now hope to be within about 2 months of picking a new TV. Size is probably 60-65" for my new living room and the budget is modest, no $10k TVs are coming to my house anytime soon. Seems like for less than $3k I should be able to do very well, which is where I'd like to stick. I've check Vizio out and there P-series seems pretty nice, Sammy's new "quantum dot" SUHD sets seem pretty sweet too. Not sure how I feel about curved vs. flat and reviewers seem to agree, there's not much to be gained in shape over simply just getting a quality panel. Just about anything is probably going to be a pretty nice upgrade over the current setup which is a nice, but basic 46" Sammy LCD 1080p set.
Anyway, I'd welcome some thoughts and first hand experience.
